ICO That Promised 13-Fold Profit in a Month Is Halted by the SEC - Bloomberg

'Case is the first by new cyber unit that focuses on ICO scamsThe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission won an emergency asset freeze to stop an initial coin offering that the agency said has defrauded investors by promising a 13-fold profit in less than a month. '

'The asset freeze was granted as the SEC sued Dominic Lacroix and his company PlexCorps in federal court in Brooklyn, the agency said in a statement on Monday. '

'The SEC warned the industry in July that if these tokens are effectively securities such as stocks or bonds, they must be registered with the agency. '

'The suit seeks fines and disgorgement from them as well as a ban on their participation in offerings of digital securities. '

'The agency also sued and froze the assets of Sabrina Paradis-Royer, described as Lacroix’s romantic partner. '
